Is Your Doodle Ball Obsessed?

[BG and Gavin]

The food group got side-tracked discussing their tennis ball obsessed doodles.  I have one too!  I thought the topic deserved front page coverage. (Maybe the FG'rs can cut and paste their stories here.)

Gavin will sit for literally an hour, in wait for someone to toss a ball to him.  Here is part of his collection which has to be kept on the window sill out of his reach:

And here he is with his favorite Kong Squeeky Tennis Ball

Sedona is looking most most beautiful in her pictures with her yellow ball.  Lucky girl to have such a caring doodle dad to buy her a whole case of balls!

Vern loves that Kong squeaky ball too. He doesn't care about chasing it, however, he just wants to squeak it in his mouth. He especially likes to do this in the car.  He only likes the ball because it means Fudge will chase him. Fudge, on the other hand, loves to play ball, but she is very good about quitting when I have had enough.

How can you resist Gavin's adorable face? Of course, you have to play ball with such a cute dood.

 

 

Vern with his ball.

This was taken when they were much younger, but you get the picture. Vern running for his life with the ball in his mouth and Fudge in fast pursuit.

OMD this is so cute.  "I got my ball and I'm in the car and life is good!"

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

That is Vern in a nutshell!

Vern, you are too cute!

Tennis ball envy....I know it well!

What a beautiful photo!

[Maryann,Roo and Tigger]

The photo of the black dog with the orange bone is Roo.  Somehow it did not get attached to this. 

Roo is just like Jack only with a bone.

 Roo is bone obessed.  He does have free use of the bone supply - about 6-9 zogoflex large bones in assorted colors.  One or two at least are misplaced at any one time.  He brings them to visitors when they arrive as he is certain that the do not know the house rule - "no bone throwing in the house".  He always beats me out the back door with one in his mouth so he can get at least one retrieve.  If I sleep longer in the moring than he would like he will jump up on the bed and drop the bone on my face, since obviously no one can sleep if there is bone throwing to be done.  In desperation he will "throw" the bone by dropping it off the sundeck into the pool so he has to go get it.  Crazy, huh?

If we are ever robbed our only hope is that the robber will step on one or more of the everpresent bones, fall and break his ankle.  He would still be expected to throw the bone from a supine position until we got home.  Being taken away by the police would be a reprieve.

Hilarious Maryann.  The visual of the incapacitated robber with Roo dropping bones on his face!  You are killing me.   Beautiful picture of Roo.  What a gorgeous coat!
